Early in the morning, the empress went to the imperial study room to handle government affairs, and Zhao Wujiang also left the gate of the Yangxin Palace to patrol the harem and supervise the palace residents as usual. The two did not communicate much.

Walking along the palace road paved with bluestones, Zhao Wujiang folded his hands and sleeves, and went to Qifeng Palace first to deliver the prescriptions he had compiled last night, and told him not to get the medicines from the Imperial Hospital, but from Dugu's family.

He thought a lot, no matter what, everything must be moved forward.

Dugu Mingyue's pregnancy caused differences and estrangements between him and the empress, which were difficult to resolve in a short time.

The empress's attitude was very firm, but not that firm. It could be seen that the empress had hesitation and compassion in her heart. He needed to convince her bit by bit.

And he couldn't slow down because of this matter, he still had a lot to do.

First of all, Chen Anbang, the Minister of War, was to be killed today, and he had already invisibly set up a trap on Chen Anbang, paving the way for what would follow.

Secondly, the hospital’s line cannot be cut off.

When he counterattacked the Minister of War at the court, he only attributed the crime of reselling medicinal materials to the warehouse manager Wang Youcai and did not thoroughly investigate the director of the hospital. That was because neither he nor the empress wanted to force the director of the hospital to a corner and become a trapped beast. Fight, and at the same time lower the wariness of the hospital director.

Regarding the poison poison, the preliminary investigation has already involved too many people, so this matter must be investigated slowly and finally eliminated.

In Zhao Wujiang's view, the Loulan poison is just a type of poison. Coupled with the other kind of poison found in Princess Yue of Honglu Temple, the mastermind behind the whole incident is basically certain to have colluded with the entire Southern Territory of Daxia. The forces in southern Xinjiang.

Coupled with the incident involving General Zhao in the north and the damage to the border defenses in the north, the whole incident is very likely to be a long-planned war of destruction against the Great Xia Dynasty... The poisonous invasion weakened the national power of Great Xia, and the northern and southern forces They are attacking from both sides and plotting to kill the princess to destroy the diplomatic relations in the Western Regions, leaving Daxia isolated and helpless...

Who are they?

Zhao Wujiang stood in front of the palace road leading to the Taiyuan Hospital with piercing eyes, then turned and left with an expressionless face, stepping out of the palace step by step.

Chen Anbang, it starts with you...

Kyoto, Chen Anbang's mansion.

Chen Anbang was sitting in front of the dressing table. His wife was trimming the thick beard and hair on his face. He had a smile on his face. Just now, he had received a letter from the Dijiao Gang.

The letter stated that Zhao Wujiang had been captured and asked him to go to the Dijiao Gang to complete the transaction with his promise.

"Hmph, a little eunuch wants to run away after offending me?"

Chen Anbang raised his head slightly, and he was particularly proud of the thick beard and beard on his face.

He needs the intimidation brought by his appearance. He hopes that others will fear him and obey him, instead of being like Zhao Wujiang, the little eunuch who does not know how to live or die, showing no awe and ignoring his rebuttal, provoking him and even slapping him in the face!

"Master, everything is ready." The old servant's voice sounded outside the door.

"Okay, no need to fix it anymore."

Chen Anbang scolded his wife beside him with a straight face, saying: "You are clumsy. When I come back from taking Zhao Wujiang's head, you should take off your clothes and prepare the whip and wait for me!"

"I obey my orders..."

The lady pursed her lips and her voice was trembling.

Chen Anbang stood up, flicked his sleeves, walked towards the Dijiao Gang, and strode into the gang leader's study.

The door to the study room was not closed, but opened wide, as if to welcome guests.

He stepped in and saw Zhao Wujiang, who was sitting on a chair and staring at him motionless.

Doubts and anger swirled in his mind for a moment. After thinking for a moment, he laughed:

"As expected of the leader of the Dijiao Gang, he actually brought you here!"

With a "bang", the door suddenly closed, and someone from outside the door came to report:

"Report to the gang leader, the traces have been cleaned up."

Clean up the traces?

Sure enough, he was very thoughtful. In this way, Zhao Wujiang's death would not be afraid of being found out... Chen Anbang's eyes were like daggers and he walked towards Zhao Wujiang:

"I will make you live and die. I have paid a huge price for you, a little eunuch! It's enough..."

"I know, fifty horses with blood." Zhao Wujiang's voice changed, and he interrupted Chen Anbang's proud words with an expressionless face.

Listening to this cold voice, Chen Anbang's expression suddenly changed, and his pupils opened angrily:

"how do you know?"
